Paws for a Cause Lara Blair Video
  Paws for a Cause 2010 Photo Shoot
  February 2010 at the Humane Society for Southwest Washington
  The Paws for a Cause Calendar Contest is back! Sponsored again this year by Lara Blair Images, this year's photo shoots will take place in the education room at the New Humane Society for Southwest Washington. Lara will set up a mobile pet portraits studio throughout the month of February, giving you the opportunity to capture the very best of your furry friends while supporting the animals at the Humane Society.
A $50 session fee gets you a photo session with up to 2 animals (each additional animal is $10) and a complimentary 5X7 print. Because Lara is an avid animal lover, she has graciously agreed to donate all the photo session fees directly to helping the animals at the Humane Society! Thank you Lara Blair Images!
   
    Spaces are limited so call early to make your reservation!
